Villain’s Favorite 42

Chapter 42 Don’t Touch the Food Here 

Maya looked confused. “Why not?” 

“Because you can’t.” 

Toby took two quick breaths. He had looked tired earlier, but now he was completely energized by anger. “The food here is mostly decoration. Almost no one actually eats it. Understand?” 

“Nope.” Maya sounded completely justified.

Annie’s mouth twitched as she watched him rush anxiously to the buffet area just to catch his sister sneaking food. She found it hard to believe. 

And the two of them were arguing openly, as if nobody else existed? 

They really were siblings, acting like everyone else around them was invisible. 

Maya kept talking. “I’ve never been to a banquet like this before. I only know that if something is edible, it goes into my stomach.” 

Back at the orphanage, she often didn’t get enough to eat. 

In her mind, nothing was considered inedible. 

Toby clearly thought of that, too. He suddenly felt a strange discomfort, and his voice softened. “I’ll take you somewhere else to eat later. 

“Don’t touch the food here. It’s not safe.” 

Alright. 

Maya was the type who softened when treated gently rather than harshly, so her voice lowered as well. 

While the siblings argued, Elliot finally wiped the cream off his eyes with a napkin. 

He walked forward, barely holding onto his reason and not losing his temper on the spot. Instead, he forced out a stiff sentence. “Please apologize to me, Miss.” 

A wave of surprise washed over Maya. 

Does he actually have manners? 

Not really. 

Elliot had been terrible in her previous life. 

The only reason he was acting polite now was that he feared Toby. 

Maya loved watching him try to maintain manners while clearly about to explode. She lifted her head, gripping the front of her dress, and spoke in a spoiled, innocent tone, “Why should I apologize?” 

Elliot said, “Don’t you think you’re being rude?”

Finished 

She actually doesn’t know why she should apologize! 

He felt like he was about to explode from anger at this brat. 

Maya committed fully to her spoiled-brat role and raised her voice loudly. “I’m not apologizing!” 

She grabbed Toby’s sleeve and whined sweetly, “Toby! I don’t want to!” 

Toby, who had stayed silent until now, admitted that he was genuinely amused. 

“She doesn’t want to apologize,” he said lightly. “Nothing I can do about that. Tough luck, Mr. Elliot.” 

Maya hugged him tightly. “He attacked my cake with his face first.” 

Toby actually went along with her, his eyes curving slightly. “Then what do you want to do?” 

“Make him apologize to my cake!” Maya immediately said. 

Elliot was trembling with anger now. 

That’s outrageous! 

How could siblings this horrible exist in the world? 

One backing the other up? What did they take him for? 

“So kind,” Toby said with fake admiration. He looked at Elliot, his dark eyes filled with dark amusement, and urged softly, “Hurry and apologize, Mr. Elliot. You don’t want to be escorted out, do you?” 

Elliot nearly ground his teeth to dust. Under Toby’s pressure, he stared hard at the floor, bowed to the smashed remains of the cake, and apologized. 

Only after finishing all that was he allowed to leave. 

As for what would’ve happened if he refused to apologize? 

He would probably be kicked out in the next second. 

At a party hosted by Harmony International School’s board, the Clarks held absolute authority. 

If he were truly “escorted out,” Elliot wouldn’t be able to live down the humiliation. 

With her revenge complete, Maya was in an especially good mood and showered Toby with praise. “So handsome, Toby.” 

The rare times she called him always had some kind of motive. Toby pinched her cheek and waved her off to go play somewhere else. 

As she left, he added uneasily, “Don’t eat random food again.” 

Maya gave half-hearted responses and ran off again. 

This time, Toby didn’t watch her movements anymore. Instead, he found a place to sit, unconsciously biting

his lip as he let out a sigh. 

If things kept going like that, something didn’t feel right. 

It felt like she was taking up more and more of his attention. 

It was even starting to feel like the mindset of an elderly man watching over his grandchild. 

He was actually starting to remind her what to watch out for.

Fausted 

After messing with Elliot, Maya had made quite a scene, but no one dared offend her. In everyone’s eyes, she was already labeled as a “spoiled young lady” and a “troublemaker.” 

So even when she ran wildly everywhere, no one dared provoke her. They carefully avoided her instead. 

Maya rushed around like a cannonball, trying to see if anyone looked suspicious and where the easiest places to hide a shooter might be. 

If the attacker were just an ordinary shooter and not a professional assassin skilled in stealth, they would most likely be hiding among the waiters. 

Everyone who entered had an invitation and was an important figure. The bodyguards those big shots brought were all kept outside.
